DOSAR VO ACTION AGENDA ACTION ITEMS AND GOALS CARRIED FORWARD FROM Our Biweekly meeting on Aug 7, 2008 and THE DOSAR VI WORKSHOP AT OLE MISS APRIL 17-18, 2008
Action Items (Short Term) Responsible persons Deploy OSG and commence Tier 3 production in Horst, Michael, David, Jim all DOSAR sites: – Actively participate in computing grid efforts in LHC experiments: at Ole Miss & ISU Turn on new LONI_OSG site with storage & local Michael DQ2 Write note for setting up D0/ATLAS and CMS Michael, Horst, Dick computing site Create Co-Linux OSG/CMS facility at USA (and Horst, Romulus, Merrill contribute to Co-Linux documentation) Document the Univ. Of Okla. Co-Linux setup. Horst, Jae Try out at UT-Arlington, other DOSAR institutions Build up the DOSAR OSG support center and Jae, Joel, Horst, Pat expertise Analysis|: Pat, Mark, Amir ATHENA + PANDA + Virtualization Complete the deployment of SAMGrid in all Joel DOSAR sites – Keep supporting the D0 MC and reprocessing effort, leveraging all available computing resources
DOSAR Roadmap Revised Joel Snow Langston University 6 th DOSAR Workshop University of Mississippi April 17-18, 2008 LHC Tier 3 Efforts Bringing Additional Large Resources The Color of DOSAR
LHC Tier 3 Efforts • Establishment of T3 sites at DOSAR institutions – Equipment? – Infrastructure Space with adequate power and cooling? – Software stacks and preparations? – Human resources? – Funds? – Training students and increasing skilled manpower? – Bringing up additional institutions to OSG based MC production level • ISU - done • OleMiss - done • Other institutions? Tata? – Allow cross griding between ATLAS and CMS 4/18/2008 4
Roadmap Goals and Milestones • Write up step-by-step instruction on how to bring up a site to become LHC MC production level from scratch MB+HS, assisted by DS,BQ and JC • OS installations and machine configurations • OSG implementations • ATLAS/CMS software stack implementations • MC verification processes • DDM implementations – Make the note a D0/ATLAS and CMS computing note • Still to be done – Place the link on DOSAR home - done • OleMiss and ISU start CMS and ATLAS MC Production: Present steps and procedures to take to accomplish this goals at the upcoming DOSAR bi-weekly meeting • DOSAR sites should be open to ATLAS and CMS for cross grid computing 4/18/2008 5
Bringing in Large Additional Resources • Implementation of the LAW project – Need to provide clear path to establishing, managing and continually maintaining the system – Must be easy to update any software stack – Must provide a few metrics to gauge performance and security impacts • Follow OU’s lead on co -Linux implementation – Vision? Bring up to and over 10k computers • Do this in an moderate pace but very carefully – Testing reliabilities, robustness and scalability – We can start with moderate goals – Prepare for MRI 2009 JC lead – Seek funds for human resources ZDG lead 4/18/2008 6
Roadmap Goals and Milestones • Write up step-by-step instruction on implementing the LAW on a site HS, HJN – Condor installation notes at Condor web site – OSG stack installation at OSG site – co-Linux ISO image at OU web site – Must be made D0, ATLAS and CMS notes - to be done – Establish a Web link of doing this DOSAR - done – UTA get >100 CPUs added by next DOSAR workshop Sep. ’08 – in progress 4/18/2008 7
The Color of DOSAR • What make DOSAR unique? – Grassroots org. • How do we distinguish DOSAR from HEP or other grids? – One of few cross disciplinary VOs • Utilize the LAW project as part of the first step toward bringing grid down to the campus – expand to state grids • Promote students’ pride in participating in privileged cutting edge scientific endeavor • Open research computing to wider range of participants • Keep abreast of OSG MPI implementation deployment 4/18/2008 8
Roadmap Goals and Milestones • What do we bring to OSG table that is uniquely DOSAR? – grassroots, cross disciplinary • DOSAR membership to different disciplines than HEP or CSE – Each institution bring in at least one non-HEP or CSE DOSAR member in 1 year – to be done • What is the DOSAR grid in one word? – Enabling • Explore wider use of machine virtualization – Bring in additional resources – Enable “drop in” server replacement for portability, redundancy, fault tolerence, jump start physics analyses – HEP and non-HEP applications 4/18/2008 9
Two Year Roadmap (from Sept. 17, 2005 DOSAR Workshop at Sao Paulo) Responsible Person Action Items (Long Term) IAC Reps. Fully engaged in LHC experiments: DOSAR should not become a Tier 2. It contains institutions from different Tier 2 ´ s (Atlas, CMS...) and will collaborate with others Joel, Joe Continue participating in D0 MC and refixing according to our own priorities IAC Reps Play a leadership role in Grid computing in the corresponding states IAC Reps Extend our participation in other areas like education and outreach IAC Reps Collaborate in software development with other non-DOSAR institutions IAC Reps Leverage regional OSG support centers
Future Conferences and Meetings ANL/BNL/LBNL Joint Jamboree Sep 9-12 2008 ATLAS T1/T2/T3 Meeting at BNL (?) Sep 22-23 2008 SC ‘08 , Austin, TX Nov. 15-21 2008 OSG All Hands Meeting at LIGO Livingston Mar 2, 2009 Observatory, near Baton Rouge Next DOSAR WORKSHOP at LSU, Baton Spring, 2009 … (April ?) Rouge
